Tor. One piercing scream that startled the
echoes aroused Mr.. s., who rushed down
stars. What was his establishment and dis
may to find his bride fainting on the floor,
ana strange gentleman, attended by a
uniformed policeman, standing over her.
Sir, said the stranger, this woman is
my slave. Her name is Melinda CaSs. | am
a Louisiana planter; here is the bill of sale
bought her a few months before she eS-
capped from my home, and have been on
her track ever since, and now she must re-
turn with men
The distress of the unfortunate couple
drew about them at once large concourse
OF their friends who were as much at a loss
what to advise in the midst of these strange
revelations as were the two most deeply
concerned. The husband, after the first
paroxysm of grief and modification, vowed
eternal fidelity to his wife, bond or free, and
with the assistance of Deacon E., the Rev.
Mr.. Buck, and Others, it was arranged that,
In order to quiet matters, the Louisiana
planter should be Identified for the loss of
his slave, and little party of friends met
together at the Gait House, where the
Loulsianian was paid 500 for compensation,
and9returned home
Mr.. 5. being man easily influenced by
his stronger minded relatives, was so beset
by his uncles, his cousins, his sisters, and his
aunts that he turned his young bride out of
doors They could not tolerate even a
single drop of negro blood, however con-
cealed by fair exterior The poor deserted
wife went heartbroken from place to place
in the capacity of a seamstress, and soon
gave birth to a son. She managed to sup
port herself and child, and bear up bravely
under her misfortunes until Mr.. S. married
another. This was more than she could
withstand, and, taking to her bed, she was
kindly attended by the Sisters of Charity
and few Baptist sisters in Louisville until
she died of a broken heart
Lizzie Carlton persisted with her dying
breath that she was of pure Caucasian blood,
a free woman by birth. She related that
her mother Portuguese, on reaching this
country, being a dark brunette, formed the
acquaintance of wealthy planter in New
Orleans, who became so infatuated that he
took her to his home, and to conceal his pur-
pose from his wife passed the woman off as
a slave, her complexion enabling her to pass
for light mulatto Lizzie was the offspring
OF this Illicit strategy, and the planter,
dying suddenly and without disclosing
the true character of his mis-
tress, who also died soon after, Lizzie,
quite child, descended to the heirs with
the other property. The estate was left in
volved, and Lizzie was sold on the block to
the planter who afterward pursued her to
Louisville. She further explained that the
young man who fed with her to Louisville
was her half brother-the son of her
mothers seducer-and that she fled to es-
cape the prosecutions of her new master
who persisted in soliciting fayors she would
not concede.

ANXIOUS TO KILL A MAN.
The Perplexing Adventure of MadriC
Grocer Whose Horse Ran Away.

Grocer Whose Horse Ran Away.
From the Chicago Ne,cs.
Prince Amadeo, of Italy, the younger
brother of King Umberto, wore the Spanish
crown for five-and-twenty months QS7073)
and then threw it off as a too heavy gew-
gaw The pride of the great Spanish
grandees rebelled at being ruled by a for
eigner, although the Cortes had seated him
on the throne. But Spaniards of all classes,
admired the calm courage of Victor Emman-
uels son, who entered Madrid far ahead of
his escort, thus offering himself as a target
| to aSsaSSins.
During his short reign there were several
| plots to take his life, and he, after each at
tempt, made it point of honor to ride or
| walk in the streets attended only by IA sin
| gle aide-de-camp.
| Once there was comic scene, made all
the more ludicrous by elevating a harmless
grocer to the temporary dignity of daring
conspirator The King, while driving to the
| palace, was overtaken by runaway hack
ney coach, in which was a fat man. The
Kings coachman whipped up his team, but
not in time to prevent. the two carriages
| from locking wheels
| The aid-de-camp, seeing the horses gallop-
ing frantically side by side, drew his rapier,
| thinking that daring conspirator was about
| to kill the King. Furiously he thrust the
blade through the window and panel of the
hackney coach, causing the fat man to dodge
| from side to side and to take refuge in cor
ner, that he might escape the lunging steel.
At the palace gates the guards stopped
the frightened horses and assisted the more
dead-than-alive citizen to descend. Wet
with PRECIPITATION, trembling as if in an
ague fit, he blubbered for mercy. He
proved to be harmless grocer on his way
TO market and though the paneling was
| pierced and the cushions ripped into rags,
he had escaped without scratch.
When he confessed that he had never
been more frightened and more violently
exercised, King Amadeo, who had tran
GULLY kept his seat, laughed heartily at the
mistake made by his too Jealous aide-de-
camp.

Fifteen or twenty years before the break
